Autohome Maggiolina Airlander Plus vs Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120

The Autohome Maggiolina Airlander Plus and the Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 are both hardshell tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Autohome and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.

On weight they are effectively level — 72 kg against 71 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 2.47 m² and 2.44 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 126 cm in the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 against 92 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Autohome does not publish a list price for the Maggiolina Airlander Plus, so a direct cost comparison means getting a quote from a dealer.

They open differently: the Maggiolina Airlander Plus is a pop-up and the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 a clamshell. That is not cosmetic — it decides whether headroom is even across the tent or tapers towards one end, and how much of the roof the tent occupies when closed. The Maggiolina Airlander Plus uses 100% fiberglass with insulated honeycomb roof panel; the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 uses aluminium honeycomb with silver coating. Canvas differs too: dralon acrylic, waterproof and breathable against 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm outer; 600D rip-stop oxford PU2000mm inner and floor. The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 adds a heater or HVAC port and the ability to carry cargo on the shell, which the Maggiolina Airlander Plus does not offer. Closed, the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 sits 12 cm lower on the roof — 18 cm against 30 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.

Autohome

Maggiolina Airlander Plus

The original Italian hardshell, sized Medium here. It opens on a handwheel rather than gas struts, and uses Dralon acrylic instead of poly-cotton — the only tent in this database with either. The 30 cm closed height is among the lowest of any pop-up.

  • Handwheel opening, no gas struts to fail
  • Dralon acrylic resists mould better than cotton blends
  • 25 mm insulated sandwich base
  • 4 cm mattress, thinnest here

Wild Land

Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120

The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 is a two-person clamshell hardshell with rear entry and an aluminium-honeycomb shell, packing to a slim 18 cm. It sets up in under 60 seconds and includes dimmable LED lighting, an integrated diesel heater port, roof crossbars and a 7 cm layered mattress.

  • Slim 18 cm closed profile with quick clamshell setup
  • Integrated diesel heater port and roof crossbars
  • 7 cm layered mattress included
  • Only a single ventilation opening
